Regarding Zd542's suggestion about daily q-tip cleaning, I found this to be a bad idea. I did the very same thing for years on end. I now produce almost no ear wax as a result. Problem is, my ears itch most of the time do to excessive dryness. I am tired of tired of trying to scratch my inner ear with my index finger. We are all anal audiophiles. Daily cleaning is not the way to go. Your particular issue may be a precursor for tinnitus. I agree with others that a ENT doctor visit is a good idea. Don't cheap out on your ears.They're the only pair you have.
Hearing issue
I have been experiencing a systolic turbulence sound in my left ear before I am fully asleep. It sounds like a periodic subtle or mild rushing or whooshing pulsation along with a very faint heartbeat. I do not notice this when I am active and upright but only while waiting to fall asleep. Has anyone had these symptoms and/or been treated for it?
Several months ago, I had developed a fluid buildup in the same ear behind the eardrum which caused me to lose the hearing in that ear. It was due to an airborne allergy. I was advised by a nurse to take Sudafed and Afrin for three days. I did, it cleared up and my hearing was restored. No similar problem since until this the last few weeks.
